HOLY FIRE

THE LAST PUZZLE PIECE

We are living in the time of the end. Dan 12:10 says, "none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."

I have wanted so much to be one of the wise that shall understand. Now, I think I do.

I received an email that along with other things causually mentioned that the cleansing of the sanctuary was on Nisan 1 (Eze 45:18).

Eze 45:18 says, "Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the FIRST MONTH, in the FIRST DAY of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary".

My mind jumped to Dan 8:13,14,17. It says, "HOW LONG shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed....Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision."

We are living in the time of the end. The 2300 days are the length of the shortened Tribulation.

In a flash, it hit me that I have been subtracting the 2300 days from Tishri 1, 5776, the Day of God's Wrath on Sept. 14, 2015, when I should have been subtracting them from the Day of the Second Advent, Nisan 1, 5776, the first day of the Sacred, Regnal and Jubilee years.

JESUS WILL COME AS THE LATTER RAIN

Hos 6:1-3 says, "Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days (i.e., 2000 years) will he revive us: in the third day (millennium) he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight (fulfilled May 14, 1948). 3 Then shall we KNOW, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter (starts Nisan 1) and former rain (starts Tishrif 1) unto the earth."

This last puzzle piece is so simple, but I never thought of it until now. Right now, when we are probably only a month away from the First-Trump Rapture, I finally understand.

BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION, DECEMBER 22, 2009

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadded.html?m1=12&d1=2&y1=2009&type=add&ay=&am=&ad=1260&aw=
From SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 2016 (i.e., Nisan 1, 5776, THE SECOND ADVENT)
Subtracted 2300 days
Resulting date: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2009 (BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION)

MID TRIB, JUNE 4, 2013, PROBABLY THE DAY SATAN AND HIS FALLEN ANGELS ARE CAST OUT OF HEAVEN

From date: Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Added 1260 days
RESULTING DATE: TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 2013 (MID-TRIB WAR IN HEAVEN)

Rev 12:7-12 says, "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels (probably 2/3 of the angels) fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels (probably 1/3rd of the angels), 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out INTO the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, YE HEAVENS, AND YE (including the Philadelphian wise virgins) THAT DWELL IN THEM (i.e., WE ALREADY DWELL IN HEAVEN BY MID-TRIB). Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea (i.e., in the 1040-day Great Tribulation)! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath".

FIRST-TRUMP RAPTURE, PROBABLY MAY 5, 2013

We will probably get out of here May 5th, before Satan and his fallen angels are cast out of heaven June 4.

JESUS WILL COME IN LIKE MANNER AS HE ASCENDED, PROBABLY ON ASCENSION DAY, MAY 5, 2013

Act 1:9-11 says, "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men (probably Moses and Elijah) stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, SHALL SO COME IN LIKE MANNER as ye have seen him go into heaven."

PORTRAYING THE RAPTURE, MOSES AND ELIJAH APPEARED WITH JESUS AT THE TRANSFIGURATION

Mat 17:1-3 says, "And after six days (i.e., after 6000 years) Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain (i.e., representing Saturn, the 3rd heaven) apart, 2 And was transfigured (METAMORPHOO, metamorphosed) before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him."

A SIGN, COMET PANSTARRS IS TELLING US A BREATHTAKING STORY

The comet PanSTARRS has gone through Pisces, where the northern fish, which represents the First-Trump Rapture, is swimming up througn Andromeda, the persecuted saints, to Cassiopeia, the Queen, the Bride of Christ.

At the present time, PanSTARRS is two degrees from Andromeda. It will be in Cassiopeia April 9.

By May 5, it will be between Cepheus, Christ, the King of kings and Lord of Lords, and Cassiopeia, the Bride of Christ. That will be near the arm of Cepheus that is holding out his sceptre to Cassiopia, just as king Ahasuerus held out his golden sceptre to Esther, meaning star (Est 5:2).

THE MEANING OF THESE CONSTELLATIONS IN GOD'S GOSPEL IN THE STARS

PISCES

Pisces means the fish of him who comes, i.e., the saints attached to Christ as part of his body. In Pisces, the star Okda means the united. We are united in Christ. AL Samaca means the upheld. Christ is upholding us.

The two fish of Pisces are tied together with the Band that Aries, the Lamb of God (Christ), has his two front feet on. In other words, Christ is claiming both fish. They represent both the First-Trump Rapture and the Last-Trump Rapture. The smaller northern fish is heading through Andromeda to Cassiopeia, the bride. The lower fish represents the Last-Trump Rapture, after it gets more water of the Holy Spirit from Christ, i.e., Aquarius, which stands for God who has water.

The last decan of Pisces is Cepheus, i.e., Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

ANDROMEDA

Andromeda is the chained woman that will be rescued and married to Perseus, who also represents Christ. The star Sirra means the chained. A star in Andromeda is Al Phiratz, the broken down. Marach, means the weak. Al Maac means the struck down. Mizar means the bound. Al Mosealah means delivered from the grave.

CASSIOPEIA

Cassiopeia means the woman enthroned (i.e., the Bride of Christ). The star Shedar means the free, Caph means the branch. Cassiopeia and Cepheus never set. They are always close to the Pole Star.

CEPHEUS

Cepheus represents Christ as the great King of Kings. As Ahasuerus held his scepter out to Esther (meaning star), Christ is holding out his scepter to Cassiopeia, the Bride of Christ. Both Cassiopeia and Cepheus are holding pieces of fabric, showing that they are religious leaders.

Cepheus has his foot on Polaris, the Pole Star, considered the highest point in the heavens, i.e., standing for Saturn, the third heaven Paul was caught up to in II Cor 12:2-4.

Cepheus means the Branch, the same branch (Tsemech)in Virgo that represents Christ. The star named Al Deramin means coming quickly as in a circle. Phirk means The redeemer. Al Rai means he who bruises or breaks. Two stars named Cheicus mean to come in a circle.

Regulus means treading underfoot. Cepheus will win over Draco, the dragon, Satan. He will make the two sheepfolds, i.e., the people of both Raptures, into one Body of Christ.

Regulus in Latin also means diminutive of reg, "king," originally in regulus of antimony, a metallic antimony so called because it combined readily with gold, a kingly metal. (Wikipedia)

Cheicus means to come in a circle. Al Rai means he who bruises or breaks. Al Phirk means The Redeemer, which is our beloved Jesus Christ.

A POST ON FIVE DOVES, Robert G (3 Apr 2013) "Re: Jim Bramlett - He is risen!!!"

Indeed, He is risen! Praise Him!
(That is the traditional reply)

In the Ukrainian Church, "He is risen" is the greeting used, for the 40 days following Easter. The reply is "Indeed, He is risen! Praise Him!".

MY REPLY

Thank you. I like that. Those 40 days would take in Ascension Day, Omer 40. I am hoping the Rapture will be on Ascension Day, May 5, 2013. Omer 1 is counted on Resurrection Day.

May 5 is Ascension Day and the Eastern Orthodox Easter SUNDAY. It is the last time Ascension Day falls on Sunday until 2024. If the Rapture is to be on Ascension Day and Sunday, this seems to be the year for it.

The Holy Fire should appear in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem soon after 2 PM on Holy Saturday. I think it was in 1970 that the Holy Fire did not come, because someone attempted to update the Julian Calendar used in 30 AD. They immediate went back to the old Julian Calendar to figure Easter, and the Holy Fire has appeared every year since. The Lord may be giving mankind that miracle to show us when the Rapture will happen. It is the longest lasting miracle ever. It seems to have started in the days of Constantine, and maybe the first Easter Sunday, when Peter saw light in the tomb. The Holy Fire is more like light for a couple of minutes, then it changes so the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem can light his candles and take the Holy Fire out to the waiting crowd. It has to be him. Others have tried and the Holy Fire failed in the tomb. One time though, it came outside where the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem was standing near the door of the church. It came like lightning and split the column near the Patriarch.

Will Jesus come like lightning?

Mat_24:27 says, "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Luk_17:24 says, "For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in HIS DAY."

The day of the Rapture is the Day of Christ.

Php_1:10 says, "That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ".

Php_2:16 says, "Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain".

2Th_2:2 says, "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand."

Rev 1:9-11 shows that the Rapture will be on SUNDAY. It says, "I John (meaning graced by Yahweh), who also am your brother, and companion IN TRIBULATION, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos (meaning mortal), for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was (lit., became) in the Spirit on the Lord's day (SUNDAY), and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last".

Act 1:7-11 says, "And he (Jesus) said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 BUT ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 9 And when he had spoken these things, WHILE THEY BEHELD, HE WAS TAKEN UP; AND A CLOUD RECEIVED HIM OUT OF THEIR SIGHT. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men (probably Moses and Elijah) stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

Well, he went up on Ascension Day, so maybe that means that he will "so come in like manner" on Ascension Day.

A POST ON FIVE DOVES, Re: Michael Colunga (3 Apr 2013) "FIFO..."

It is written,
50"And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

51"At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people."

Matthew 27:50-53 NIV

If Christ ascended after 40 days, there could be a time of intense witnessing by an awakened Bride, followed by the Rapture. The date is set in stone. The only trouble is that it is a backwards count to an known event, but probably not unidentified as such. The prophetic weight of that event can only be verified after the fact, not before. Did the 40 days commence on the evening of March 30--the start of Nisan 16, according to http://www.aish.com/jl/hol/o/48970511.html? No one knows.

It is written,
"And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power."
Acts 1:7 KJV

And yet, it is written,
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
Matthew 24:14 NIV

What does this mean to us? We should neither be slackers nor blockers, neither delaying nor preventing the spread of the gospel.

Doves, there is no "second chance" for ANY of us to spread the gospel.

It is written,
27"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."
Hebrews 9:27-28 KJV

Either you live now for Christ, or you will be cut off and burned up.
It is written,

1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."

John 15:1-8 NIV

Let's let Jesus unpack that scripture. It is written,
15"My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."

What does it mean to be sanctified unto God?
1"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

4"Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him."

1 John 3:1-6 NIV

Therein lies our surety. It is written,
3"I thank my God every time I remember you. 4In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
Philippians 1:3-5 NIV

Now hear this: God has spilled the beans to His prophets. Will we have to wait until the end, so that we may have beans and wedding rice? Who knows. I really think that the Bride of Christ is going to be a "war bride."

It is written,
"The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name."
Exodus 15:3 KJV

Finally, if we are all disciplined as is an army with but one Commander-in Chief, the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will have done everything in its order, and thus we shall bring about the Rapture at the proper time.

MY REPLY

What does FIFO stand for?

I am counting Nisan 17, Wed. March 27, as Omer 1, and Omer 40 as Sunday, May 5, which is both Ascension Day and the Eastern Orthodox Easter Sunday. The Holy Fire should come from his grave in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem soon after 2 PM on Holy Saturday. He seems to be showing us what day the Rapture will fall on, the Orthodox Easter Sunday. They use the Julian Calendar that was used in 30 AD to figure the date of Easter. I think it was in 1947 that someone tried to update the Julian Calendar, and no Holy Fire came that year. They immediately went back to the old Julian Calendar and the Holy Fire has come every year since.

The Holy Fire is the longest lasting miracle I know of. It started back in Constantine's days, and maybe from Resurrection Day. Peter saw light in the tomb.

Act 1:2,3 says, "Until the day in which he was taken up (i.e., Nisan 16, Resurrection Sunday), AFTER THAT he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive AFTER HIS PASSION by many infallible proofs, BEING SEEN OF THEM FORTY DAYS."

Act 1:9-11 says, "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men (probably Moses and Elijah) stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, SHALL SO COME IN LIKE MANNER as ye have seen him go into heaven."

Jesus left on Ascension Day, so I think he will come for us on Ascension Day. I expect Moses and Elijah to come with Jesus.

> > It is written, "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power." Acts 1:7 KJV

But they could know after Pentecost.

Act 1:7,8 says, "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

> > 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:3-5 NIV

RADIATION IS CAUSING BABIES TO HAVE THYROID PROBLEMS IN CALIFORNIA

Almost third of US West Coast newborns hit with thyroid problems after Fukushima nuclear disaster

http://rt.com/usa/fukushima-us-children-thyroid-291/
"Researchers have discovered that the Fukushima nuclear disaster has had far-reaching health effects more drastic than previously thought: young children born on the US West Coast are 28 percent more likely to develop congenital hyperthyroidism....

"'Fukushima fallout appeared to affect all areas of the US, and was especially large in some, mostly in the western part of the nation,” researchers from the New York-based Radiation and Health Project wrote in a study published by the Open Journal of Pediatrics....

"Just a few days after the meltdown, I-131 concentration levels in California, Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon and Washington were up to 211 times above the normal level, according to the study. At the same time, the number of congenital hypothyroid cases skyrocketed, increasing by an average of 16 percent from March 17 to Dec. 31, 2011. And between March 17 and June 30, shortly after the meltdown, newly born children experienced a 28 percent greater risk of acquiring hyperthyroidism."
